Do not miss this great classic and the powerful introduction that explores the situation as it stands today--even more provocative now, as official sources are admitting that UFOs are real unknowns and that they seem to have something to do with close encounters.

Communion is the iconic classic in which Whitley Strieber describes his 1985 close encounter experiences. This book, which fundamentally changed the way we understand close encounters and alien abductions, is presented here with a new introduction by the author.

The message of Communion, that something unknown is really happening to people but that we have not studied it enough to understand it, remains as timely now as it was in 1987 when the book was first published. And Whitley Strieber's riveting account of what he experienced, along with his relentless and expert pursuit of the reality behind the experience, is to this day the greatest such account ever published.

Do not miss this great classic and the powerful introduction that explores the situation as it stands today--even more provocative now, as official sources are admitting that UFOs are real unknowns and that they seem to have something to do with close encounters.

Them is the first book ever to examine the intent of the presence known as aliens or visitors from the perspective of what both civilian and military close encounter witnesses report happening to them.

Leslie Kean, author of UFOs: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials Go on the Record calls Them groundbreaking in the truest sense of that word.

Mitch Horowitz says in his preface that it's among the most important interpretations of visitor phenomena since Jacques Valle's Passport to Magonia appeared in 1969.

Dr. Vallee, in the foreword, states that This book cites fact after fact to build the case for in-depth realignment of public policy with public need.

In part one of the book, Whitley Strieber analyzes the experiences of eleven close encounter witnesses and from that derives the first in-depth picture of what the extremely strange and complex experience known as contact may mean, and what our visitors' intentions may be.

In part two, he turns to the military experience, showing how the visitors themselves placed governments in the position of having to keep their presence and actions secret, and what the effects of conflict with them has had on public policy as well as the lives of military personnel who have confronted them. Strieber also discusses why conflict situations occurred in the past and why this may be continuing. He then explores the enormous difficulty of communication between species with differently structured brains, and how these issues can be recognized and addressed.

There has never been a book written like Them. It is as much a first as Mr. Strieber's groundbreaking volume about his own close encounter, Communion. While it does not deal with his own experiences, in it he takes advantage of over three decades of study and research to create a vision of contact that may prove foundational to useful understanding of what is now a confused, sometimes violent, and fraught relationship.

Dr. John Alexander says, This is an important next chapter in that unending adventure that transcends time and space.

Dr. Hal Puthoff comments, Whitley has taken a deep dive into the UAP mystery not heretofore taken in any depth. That is, just what does it mean to potentially interact with a species so foreign to our understanding of reality as to be well nigh incomprehensible. Questions are raised and addressed which are themselves so provocative that the fact that we recognize that we have no answers is itself exceedingly valuable. I highly recommend immersion in such a challenge.

He must manage his new responsibilities while handling the political consequences of his relationship with the royal family, especially the princess. His father's constant threat looms on the horizon, but more immediate dangers arise, putting his adopted home at risk. What will Seiko learn, and what will he lose?

Blood Dragon: The Dragon Prince of Ijlal is the first book in an epic three-part fantasy series that explores destiny, duty, and the price of loyalty.

Whitley Strieber is a literary legend, and Jesus: A New Vision is the most provocative book of his career. As the author of such influential books as Warday, Nature's End, Communion and Superstorm, he ranks among the cultural forces of our time.

Jesus: A New Vision is at once a magisterial work of scholarship and a completely new approach to the meaning and message of Jesus. It comes at a time when the western world is divided between a declining number of believers in Christian doctrine and an ever-increasing number of people who feel that Jesus was nothing more than a religious zealot who was executed for the crime of sedition.

What if neither of these approaches is right? What if Jesus really did perform miracles, including the resurrection, but that this says not that he was a deity, but that he was exercising human powers which are buried within us all, and which we do not suspect are there?

By exploring the life of Jesus and his teachings in an entirely new way, Jesus: A New Vision sheds fresh light on the meaning and power of his parables, explores the mysteries of the gospels of Thomas and Mary with fresh insight, and explains why, as Strieber puts it, he committed suicide by crucifixion.

It also addresses the questions that continue to surround the Shroud of Turin, exploring both the science that concluded that it was a medieval forgery and the more recent studies that have shown it to be something very different.

It explores what happened after Jesus's death that led to the ultra-violence that destroyed the entire polytheistic culture of the Roman Empire, and explains why this greatest of all human revolutions happened, relating it to the pandemics and uncontrollable migrations that resulted from a climate change event that began around 150 A.D. and led to extraordinary disruptions that the Romans, knowing nothing of solar variability, blamed on their gods.

In its sweep and its drama, there has never been another book like Jesus: A New Vision.

Jesus: A New Vision is a completely new look at the life of Jesus, what happened after his crucifixion and how his story completely overturned the old pagan religion of the Roman empire and altered history. It draws on the latest archaeology and scientific research to develop a new vision that neither asserts his divinity nor dismisses him as a secular phenomenon, but rather looks at his humanity-and ours-in an entirely new way.

It is neither a Christian book nor an anti-Christian book. It is not a secular book either, but advocates that Jesus lived his life not to show us that he was God, but rather to show us that he was truly human, and leave behind the message that we can also embrace our full humanity, including the hidden powers of miracle and rebirth that have made us assume that he was a god.

Who was Jesus and who were the people, barely mentioned in the gospels, who aided him through his passion? Who was the woman in Bethany who anointed him with Nard, and why did she do it? Who owned the Upper Room? Who was the boy who ran away at Gethsemane and who was the man sitting at the tomb when the women found it empty?

If Jesus reappeared after the crucifixion, why did he keep his presence secret? And what is the incredible message of the Shroud of Turin, not only about Jesus, but about all of us?

After Saul was blinded on the road to Damascus he reappeared weeks later as Paul the Apostle, one of the greatest theologians in history. Who educated him in Damascus?

In this magisterial work, Whitley Strieber takes the story of Jesus from his birth through his heretofore hidden childhood to his crucifixion and beyond, into the almost miraculous Christianization of the Roman Empire with all its attendant horrors, and offers a new vision of Jesus as a teacher and the source of a great human empowerment that was buried when the doctrine known as the Nicene Creed was adopted.

Jesus: A New Vision-the only book of its kind. Like Warday, Communion, Nature's End, Superstorm and A New World, another astonishing Whitley Strieber breakthrough book.

The true story of a wife and mother's descent into alcohol addiction - a harrowing and sometimes heartbreaking chronicle of habitual blackouts and unremembered nights - and her triumphant emergence into the light of recovery.

Before she stopped drinking for good, Kim was lying to herself and everyone she knew about her daily habit-sneaking morning sips of vodka behind her husband's back, emptying bottles of wine and hiding the evidence from her family, and convincing herself that nothing was wrong and everything was under control. Until she realized that it wasn't, and that her dishonesty could cost her everything she loved.

What would happen to her marriage if things continued in this way? And how could she be a mother to her young children if she remained trapped in this cycle of abuse?

Deciding she had to make a change, Kim threw herself into a new life of sobriety seven months into the Covid-19 pandemic. But only after severing the chains of bondage did she realize how much work there was still to do. Opening the doors to buried memories and past traumas was only the beginning. Throughout her journey to sobriety, Kim would come to terms with the secrets and lies told by her parents and loved ones, allowing her a clarity and freedom she never before thought possible.

The Heart of Fear: A Surgeon's Collection of Stories on Adversity, Passion and Perseverance is a raw and honest exploration of the internal conflicts and fears shared by professionals in distinctly different yet surprisingly comparable fields-including medicine, skydiving, and stunt driving.

Through candid interviews with people in high-stress, high-risk occupations, author Alexandra Kharazi provides insight on navigating risk in the face of fear and offers techniques on how we can ultimately transcend the limiting beliefs that hold us back from achieving our goals.

Prudence Aldrich is a sex addict. Five weeks ago, she checked into the Serenity Hills rehab center to prevent that addiction from ruining every important relationship in her life. Now Prue must face the trail of destruction she left behind, including mending the broken bond with her teenage son, finalizing the divorce from her husband, Nick, and using a newly learned set of skills to ward off her insatiable cravings for male attention-a compulsion that puts her friendship with lifelong pal Lily to the test.

Adding ever further complications to the hurdles in her path is the arrival into town of Alistair Prescott, her in-rehab romantic obsession, and the one person in the world most capable of throwing Prue off her recovery. Meanwhile, Serenity Hills counselor Mike Sullivan is undergoing a crisis of his own-one that will drive him to the rediscovery of a lifelong passion . . . and causing him to cross paths again with Prue, his former patient.

A Dress the Color of the Moon tracks the rocky and sometimes disastrous path to recovery-a recovery that will require Prudence and her friends to face down the demons of their pasts while learning to accept the fearful uncertainty that comes with living life on your own two feet.

Ooops is the book that finally endorses mistakes as events to be celebrated and shared. It's hard to believe that all these mistakes and adventures were authored by the same person, but it's true. Kent Sterling shares many of the embarrassing and hilarious moments that shaped him as a son, husband, dad, and boss. These episodes might be a little more outrageous than those you lived through and benefitted from, but they affirm the necessity of mistakes in shaping us as productive and humble.

Under the guidance of his adoptive father, the Raven of Sedria, Seiko leads the Akyrier Zranar, an elite unit tasked with hunting dragons.

When Seiko returns to the castle, new secrets come to light, and he must help Jocelynn face her fears.

Blood Dragon: The Black Falcon's Resolve is the second book in an epic three-part fantasy series that explores destiny, duty, and the price of loyalty.

Bailey Anderson never imagined her life would take such a dramatic turn. As a loyal and soft-hearted assistant to attorney Xavier Monroe, she finds herself swept into a proposal that defies all conventions when she receives an out-of-the-blue marriage proposal. Determined to appear the epitome of stability and commitment, Xavier asks Bailey to marry him-not for love, but to achieve his grand ambitions of getting a high-profile job with the District Attorney's office. With a heart full of unspoken feelings, Bailey agrees, stepping into a role fraught with unexpected challenges.

Their union, however, is far from simple. Incensed by the sudden engagement, Xavier's brother accuses Bailey of being a gold-digger. Complicating matters further is Priscilla, a woman from Xavier's past who has returned, her intentions clear and her pursuit relentless. And as fissures in the relationship between Xavier and Bailey begin to surface, the delicate balance of their fabricated marriage begins to unravel.

Set against a backdrop that blends modernity with the nostalgic charm of a bygone era, Bailey must navigate the trials of this unconventional arrangement. Will their marriage of convenience withstand the pressures from family and Priscilla's aggressive advances? Can Bailey turn this facade into a genuine love story, or will the weight of secrets and desires prove too great?

Can a loving relationship survive death? The Afterlife Revolution triumphantly says that it can.

After a near-death experience in 2004, Anne Strieber became an expert in afterlife studies and created an ingenious plan of contact which, to her husband Whitley's amazement, she proceeded to carry out, starting just an hour and a half after she died.

As verified by famed afterlife researcher Dr. Gary Schwartz, who wrote the foreword, the Afterlife Revolution is among the most convincing stories of afterlife communication ever told, and is a ringing endorsement not only of the fact that we do not die, but also that the power of love can create an actual bridge between the physical and nonphysical worlds.

The book points the way to a new relationship between the living and, as Anne puts it, what you call the dead. Anne tells of her experience on the other side, saying that we are light, alive, and that enlightenment is what comes when there is nothing left of us but love. Her descriptions of the afterlife are brilliantly articulate and nuanced, at once deeply familiar and uniquely her own.

The Afterlife Revolution shows how to use basic tools such as what Anne describes as objective love combined with a simple but special form of meditation to build a relationship between physical and nonphysical worlds. It is intended to help us find that sweet point at which the souls of the living touch those of the dead. As Anne says, Mankind is divided, not so much between the sexes as between the living and what are called the dead. It isn't natural and it isn't necessary. We can become whole.

The Afterlife Revolution is about the joy of doing just that, and the magnificent new human experience that will unfold as more and more of us learn to live in this way.

It has been observed that belief in the afterlife is really a belief in the undying nature of love. In The Afterlife Revolution, Whitley Strieber gives form, story, and insight to that principle, mapping out in vivid, moving, and persuasive detail his continued communion with his beloved wife Anne. Our generation is passing through a renaissance of near and after-death literature. This memoir forms the gravitational center of that field. -Mitch Horowitz, PEN Award-winning author of Occult America and One Simple Idea: How Positive Thinking Reshaped Modern Life

This is a story about the role of our mortality in our lives.

In 2042, a biochemical breakthrough extends longevity to that of early biblical characters. How will the world adjust to the changes brought about by near immortality?

The changes are bewildering. What will dating be like? Is it frowned upon for a 600-year-old man to date a 400-year-old woman? Can marriages last for hundreds of years? Can careers?

​The human and sci-fi stories are interwoven. In 1945, Harbir emigrates from the Punjab to New York City where he establishes a modest bakery empire. Three generations of his family grow, prosper, and find stability in the home they call The Ranch. Meanwhile, J-P Durand, a French biochemist obsessed with biblical ages, tracks down a plant that extends human life.

In the miracle year 2042, the world struggles to adjust to new technology, values, and especially the traditions of family. Among those affected are Harbir's son Yusuf, Yusuf's gay son Viqar, and Barbara, Viqar's wife-erstwhile artist and free spirit.

In 2059, Harbir is gone, but at age 71, Yusuf, not part of the future or the past, with hundreds of years of life remaining, meets Dorothea and must confront the relationship of happiness, lifespan, and family.

As he endures the daily torment, Adam dreams of a future beyond his childhood. He imagines the day he will graduate, break free, and finally find the peace and safety he desperately craves. All he has to do is survive-and hold on to the hope of a brighter tomorrow.

A Hidden Garden is Whitley Strieber's first book of poetry. Whitley has been writing poems for many years, but previously only shared them with friends. This book contains poems he has written since 1980, but most of them were written since 2015. Just one of the poems, Somebody Kissed Me, directly refers to his experiences with the otherworldly presence he calls the visitors, but it eloquently expresses the power and mystery of this very special part of his life. The others chronicle his love affair with his beloved wife Anne, and, in the Liberty Poems, another, more recent love with somebody he values deeply, and who is also a subtle and challenging teacher who has given him great pain and great insight, and changed his life in many powerful ways.

The book includes poems on many different subjects, ranging from the profound to the funny to the eerie, and reflect his many interests and intense curiosity about living life well and dying with courage and joy. One section of four poems for children, which includes a moving ballad about a dog and a shorter poem about, of all things, a fly, reflect his love of kids and his profound hope for and belief in the future.
